Fu Yuanhui is an Olympic swimmer from the Chinese city of Hangzhou.She competed in the l00﹣meter backstroke event in Rio de Janeiro.She finished third in her semi﹣final swim on August 7.Shortly after the semi﹣finals,She became a trending topic on Chinese social media and she became famous quickly around the world.It was not her swimming,however,that made her famous.It was some of the words she made afterward.

A Chinese reporter spoke with her after the semi﹣finals.The reporter told her that she swam the race in under 59 seconds.This seemed to shock her."58.95?" she said with excitement."I was really fast!" She told the reporter that she used " mystical powers" in her swim.

Her shock,joy and honesty won her many friends in China and around the world.People began making GIFs of her excited facial expressions.Those images spread quickly.

One American wrote,"Fu Yuanhui from China is the loveliest person on the planet."Even the Huffington Post website called her,the"most lovable swimmer at the Rio Olympics."

Fu's fame only grew on August 9,when she competed in the l00﹣meter backstroke finals.She beat her semi﹣final time.She swam the race in 58.76 seconds.It was fast enough to earn(赢得) her a share of the bronze medal.She tied for third place with Kylie Masse of Canada.

Her words after the race won her even more followers in China and around the world.At first,the swimmer said she does not think she won a medal.She said she is still pleased with her time because she beat the Asian record.A reporter told her that she was just 0.01 seconds behind the silver medal winner.She said she couldn't reach second place because"her arms are too short."

Her reaction(反应) and personality have made her one of China's﹣and the world's﹣favorite Olympians.The New York Times newspaper wrote Thursday of the swimmer,"Rather than mere happiness at her performances,Ms.Fu,20,exhibits something closer to pure(纯粹的) joy,bouncing around and making lively faces."
